This is adorable. Knitting and crocheting have both been proven to be very meditative and relaxing hobbies.

I love crochet but sometimes it makes me want to tear my hair out. I don't know how it can be meditative when you have to pay constant close attention or you completely screw up the pattern. Ladies who say they crochet while watching TV mystify me. What exactly are they "watching" that they can crochet at the same time? Knitting is even harder for me and would give me a heart attack, I'm sure.

There is nothing wrong with a man knitting or crocheting, they are producing something. That is a lot better than some of these young boys doing nothing with their hands when they have time.

This is awesome. I have a crocheted afghan that my Dad made me and I love it to pieces. I did give him an odd look because he's like 6'2 and used to be a body builder, him sitting there crocheting just looked weird, but I love that he loves it. We're not close close but I still treasure that.

Forbes list also suggests “taking advantage of found time,” “supporting your local favorite businesses,” “sending gifts in the mails.” It’s also a perfect moment to practice random acts of kindness as seen in this post. The heroes who don’t wear capes are people just like you and me, and if we can learn something from them is that it doesn’t take whole lot to do good.

"I got on the subway in Manhattan tonight and found a swastika on every advertisement and every window. The train was silent as everyone stared at each other, uncomfortable and unsure what to do.
One guy got up and said, "Hand sanitizer gets rid of Sharpie. We need alcohol." He found some tissues and got to work.
I've never seen so many people simultaneously reach into their bags and pockets looking for tissues and Purel."

A Hero Can Be Anyone, No Special Powers Needed

Wanted to give a shout-out to this girl. No idea who she is, but we are in Wrigleyville on the rooftop of Old Crow Smokehouse. There was a blind Cubs fan trying to hail a cab for several minutes until the lady came up and asked him if he needed help hailing a cab. She stood there with him until one pulled up. Awesome to see such kindness in a world that the media portrays so much hate in. Share freely in hopes that her kindness spreads.

Woman Holds And Comforts A Homeless Man Experiencing Medical And Emotional Distress On The Subway Platform Until EMS Arrives

A few people actively helped out here, making sure he was ok, giving medical advice, and calling 911, but this woman's compassion and ability to comfort him during a scary time was so heartwarming. I don't know when the last time this man was held and cared for physically like this; it could have been decades, and her immediate reaction to comfort him, help him put his shoes on, etc. was so genuine

I've Always Wondered Why CPR Isn't A Core Class In High School. I Graduated 10 Years Ago And Have Used CPR Three Times Which Is Three Times More Than I Have Used Calculus

My wife and I were stopping at the store to get dinner, and I saw an older gentleman laid down in the road in front of the store, so I pulled over and rushed to his side. Another guy was next to him checking his pulse and said he couldn’t find it, so we pulled him out of the road, and immediately begin chest compressions. The two of us worked on him for about five minutes or so while a whole bunch of onlookers just stood there. The paramedics finally arrived and took over, and after shocking him several times and what felt like a lifetime, were able to stabilize him, and get him to the hospital. A police officer came over and told us he had a massive heart attack
